Privacy, Recording & Consent

Sussur is built to keep your conversations yours. Here are the plain answers to the questions that matter most.

What is recorded?#

During a session, Sussur transcribes the call on your Mac and can keep an audio recording and periodic screen captures locally so you can replay the conversation later. Transcription uses an on-device speech model — your audio never leaves your Mac to be transcribed.

What leaves my Mac?#

Only what the AI needs to coach you:

• Transcript text and context go to the AI models Sussur runs for your account, to generate coaching, summaries, and reports. This is the one thing that leaves, and it is text — never the audio, never the video, never a full session archive uploaded for storage.
• What Sussur holds is small and named. Your account is your email address plus a metered usage counter (credits), used to run and meter the service. Sussur keeps no copy of your transcripts — they live on your Mac. Inference runs through OpenRouter, Inc. as our provider; what a model provider retains is governed by its terms.
• Anonymous, non-personal usage analytics (which features are used) unless you turn them off in Settings.

Nothing derived from a face or a voice leaves your Mac. Video is processed on-device and stays there; the coaching that leaves is read from the transcript, as text.

Where is my data stored?#

Everything meeting-related lives in your Mac's Application Support folder for Sussur: the local database (contacts, sessions, transcripts), any recordings and screen captures, and automatic backups. You can export or delete it at any time — see Managing Your Data.

Who else can hear it?#

No one, by default. Coaching is for you. The floating overlay can be hidden from screen-sharing tools so it isn't visible if you share your screen.

Do I have to tell the other person?#

How do I delete everything?#

Sussur includes a delete-all option, and you can remove the app and its data folder entirely. Step-by-step instructions are on Managing Your Data.
